2016

SocialErasmusSTAR Award

Spanish and Greek ESN sections were recognised by their great implementation of SocialErasmus.

The SocialErasmusSTAR Award had its first edition in 2015 to reward the best SocialErasmus activity. In 2016, the International SocialErasmus Team decided that the efforts of ESN SocialErasmus Coordinators should be recognised not only for the activities organised but also for the implementation of the Project, considering the following criteria:

Have an official Local SocialErasmus Coordinator;

Keep the database of their Local SocialErasmus Coordinators up-to-date;

Quality of the SocialErasmus activity proposed;

Registration of the SocialErasmus activities in all the available systems;

Cooperation with other ESN sections;

Media coverage of the activity;

Promotion materials created before and after the event following the SocialErasmus visual identity;

Thus, during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of ESN in Warsaw, Spain and Greece saw their ESN sections being awarded with the SocialErasmusSTAR Award.

These awards are annually awarded at a ceremony at the AGM, the main decision-making body of ESN International.All the official sections of our network are invited to the AGM to decide about how the network should be working the following year. During the AGM the sections also decide about strategic issues, as well as about the budget and elect the new International Board.
